That’s heartbreaking about the developers and the council destroying historic buildings and everything else that’s going on. It shouldn’t be allowed! I found this website; SAVE Britain’s Heritage. https://www.savebritainsheritage.org/

Does it still live off that reputation? There can’t be that many around that remember The Prisoner
There is a town in NSW that used to be “The town on the $10 note”
But the design was changed in 1993 and Gulgong erased
The place has a bit of a run down feel about it

I dont think it is Bruce , probably more well known for its name on Pottery which is actually made in Stoke onTrent .
Ha ha, That throws up another question, is any pottery still made in Stoke on Trent?
I have a Malaysian friend who worked as an accountant for a Japanese company that made pottery for a Stoke on Trent pottery company and exported it to Britain with “Stoke on Trent” on the base. It didn’t actually say “Made in Stoke on Trent” but sort of implied it.
When I lived in the UK over 50years ago I used to go on courses near Stoke on Trent and often, from the surrounding hills near the five towns (with my best girl by my side) in the evening would watch the kilns being opened which lit up the sky.
All made in Malaysia
